If I had to do it again today, I might change the Russian women's backgrounds - though I really like them and hope to use them in other stories in the future.

Looking forward to part 2 with bated breath!

I see. Yeah, villainizing certain countries is crossing into rough waters. Even if it’s just aimed at governments and not the people themselves. Next time I do stories like this, the villains will always be criminal organizations, terrorists and/or evil corporations, all of which will be purely fictional like Las Brujas in 732. That won’t risk stepping on any toes.

Also great to hear that you might revisit that story. I feel it’s your most underrated.
